ABSTRACT:
The terminal deals effectively with an error occurrence in accordance with a selected one of modes that comprise a normal mode and a debug mode. The terminal comprises a mode information holder, an error detector, a mode judge unit and a initializer. The mode information holder holds mode information that indicates which mode is the selected mode. For example, the holding of the mode information is carried out ahead of supplying power to the terminal. When an error occurs in the terminal, the error detector detects the error. Then the mode judge unit judges which mode is the selected mode, by referring to the mode information so as to produce an initialization request if the normal mode is the selected mode. The initializer initializes the terminal in response to the initialization request. On the other hand, the mode judge unit does not produce the initialization request if the debug mode is the selected mode. Accordingly, the initializer does not initialize the terminal so that the terminal continues to malfunction from the error.
